Exercise 9 Page 475

What does the Zero Exponent Property say? And the Negative Exponent Property?

q^4/p^2

Practice makes perfect

To simplify the given exponential expression, we will use the Zero and Negative Exponent Properties.
Zero Exponent Property a^0=1, for every nonzero numbera [0.8em] Negative Exponent Property a^(- n)=1/a^n, for every nonzero numbera and integern Let's try to simplify the given expression using these properties.
